About the Item

Oil on canvas portraying a young French cancan dancer preparing to go on stage. Very beautiful scene of great sensuality, painted by a painter of the Fauve school, circa 1880-1890. Research is underway for an attribution... Re-canvased, 19th century frame: 73x61 cm The can-can ,also spelled cancan as in the original French, is a high-energy, physically demanding dance that became a popular music-hall dance in the 1840s, continuing in popularity in French cabaret to this day. Originally danced by couples, it is now traditionally associated with a chorus line of female dancers. The main features of the dance are the vigorous manipulation of skirts and petticoats, along with high kicks, splits, and cartwheels.
